"They painted and repaired wood on fireplace outside. Painted shutters. Pressure washed driveway, sidewalk, deck and front gutter. Painted water sealant on deck. They cleaned up and came back and put items back on the deck after it dried. I was pleased with their work."

"They provided a very well worded and complete estimate. Their price was not the lowest but fair and the professionalism caused us to feel more comfortable with them. We chose all the colors and provided those prior to the job beginning. The crew arrived exactly when they were expected, completely prepared and neat. On the 2nd morning of the job, my wife was stopped by the crew leader. He showed my wife the catalog of stain colors and said he thought our choice for the deck was too dark. He showed a lighter brown and asked her to allow him to go with the lighter color. My wife at first said she wanted to stick with the darker one because it matched the trim and gutters. The foreman was rather insistent and said that he thought she would regret it and that changing away from the darker one would be difficult. By this point my wife was running late for work so she agreed to his suggestion. When we got home that afternoon the crew was finished and the job looked GREAT! Everything was cleaned up well and we loved it. The deck, unfortunately didn't look right. There was a slight purple tint in the brown. We found a couple of small areas that needed touch up and The Painting Company was very responsive to those requests. They sent someone out quickly to let us point out the issues. They were all corrected. At the same time we pointed out that we were not pleased with the color of the deck. The person who was with us questioned why we didn't like it. He pointed out that we had signed off on the color. He also said that, in his opinion, it looked great. We still saw it as a purple and brown mix that we didn't like. He asked us to give it a chance to grow on us. It never did and after a few months we painted it again ourselves. Overall we loved working with The Painting Company. We will use them again, but next time we will stick with our color choices.

"Fantastic company. They did complete exterior painting, including staining large deck, metal railings, and complete refinishing of front door. They are committed to getting things right and are consummate professionals. I can't recommend highly enough. Our neighbors saw their work and hired them on the spot. Great company and we're very pleased with the results."

"This is my second time to use Altract. They painted our interior home several years ago and they just painted our exterior brick and trim. They also repaired old deck boards and stained our deck and fence. Alex and his crew did an amazing job. Donnie the General Manager came by afterward to do the walk through with us. We were very please with their work and the professionalism of the work crew. My neighbors are already asking who did the work. We love it!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

For the longest-lasting exterior paint, consider acrylic or enamel (oil-based) paints. Acrylic paints, including acrylic latex and acrylic enamel, are known for withstanding harsh weather and sun exposure. Enamel-based paints are also one of the most durable options available. While latex paint is common, it typically has a shorter lifespan than acrylic or oil-based options. The paint's finish also affects its durability; a higher gloss finish is generally more durable. For resistance to moisture and cracking, matte and satin finishes can be effective, while a high-gloss acrylic or oil-based paint offers a combination of maximum longevity and durability.

Waterproof paint creates a barrier to hold back moisture, but it doesn’t eliminate the source of the water. If you hire a basement waterproofing contractor, many will tell you that waterproof paint is only a temporary solution. On average, you can expect it to last from six months to two years in a wet basement before deteriorating.

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

Whether you can paint over your existing paint depends on what’s on there. Most of the time, you’ll want to sand down or scrape off the paint that’s currently coating your surface. Epoxy paint, for example, won’t let new paint stick to the surface. Latex paint is more forgiving and will accept a new coat, but a primer is recommended if you’re switching colors.
